Show MAGNA DEFEATS PROVO FOR STATE SEMIPR CROWN Magna-Garfield winners of the first half in the Utah Industrial league baseball play defeated Provo, second half champs Wednesday Wed-nesday by a score of 8-3 to win the 1942 championship. Magna and Provo ended the second half in a tie. The Timps emerged victors in a two out of three playoff series. In the Wednesday contest the Millmen got off to a three-run lead in the first inning on two hits, two errors and a sacrfice, and then Frank Shone, Magna hurler, kept the Timps well in hand throughout the game. Magna added one in the third, three in the fifth and one in the seventh to complete the barrage. The Timps scored in the third and seventh and Len Page banged out a homer in the eighth for the Provo scoring. Evans and Shafer were the batting bat-ting stars of the final tilt, each collecting three bingles, and Randy Ran-dy Moesser, who was awarded the most popular player award by Magna fans, added two more solid clouts. The Millmen replace Provo as Industrial league champs. |
